The Buffalo Bills have released offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio, the team announced Wednesday.
Kouandjio, 23, was selected by the Bills in the second round of the 2014 draft by former general manager Doug Whaley, who was fired last month.
A first-team All-SEC selection at Alabama in 2013, Kouandjio spent his first two seasons in the NFL in mostly a reserve role. He started five games last season for Buffalo because of injuries to left tackle Cordy Glenn.
Kouandjio had been sidelined during organized team activities this month because of January hip surgery resulting from a fall at home.
